"What's your favourite speech?" We’re back for a second series! And kicking us off is the sublimely talented Joanna Vanderham (Emmy Award winning The Runaway, BBC’s The Control Room and Paradise, What Maisie Knew, The Boy with the Topknot). Joanna discusses Penelope Skinner’s translation of Alexei Arbuzov’s 'The Promise’. What made her audition for the play so unique, why does she appreciate her time at Royal Welsh College so much and how does it feel when a writer creates a brand new monologue especially for you? Hosted by Lucy Eaton, theatre producer and West End & screen actress best known for her role as Lucy in hit comedy ‘Staged’. Other episodes include Goodness Gracious Me’s Sanjeev Bhaskar, Olivier award winning director Sir Richard Eyre and Blackadder’s Tim McInnerny.
